Jason Levi Escobar, born on November 8, 1995, in Kansas City, Missouri, departed this life on May 20, 2025, in Olathe, Kansas. He leaves behind a legacy marked by strength, kindness, and a heartfelt dream to pursue a creative life.

A graduate of Olathe Northwest High School in 2014, Jason had aspirations that extended far beyond the familiar horizons of his hometown. He dreamed of moving to Los Angeles to become a movie script writer, a testament to his creative spirit and passion for storytelling. Throughout his life, he maintained an enduring desire to explore the world, including New York and Colorado, often expressing his wish to travel and experience new adventures.

Despite facing numerous challenges, Jason was known for his remarkable resilience. He approached life with unwavering strength, both mentally and physically, never allowing hardships to diminish his positivity. His friends and family will remember him for his inability to complain, even in the face of struggles, which only amplified his character. Jason had a heart of gold, always willing to lend an ear or a helping hand to those he loved.

Jason had various interests that brought him joy. He loved going on long walks, particularly reveling in the beauty of good weather. He found pleasure in simple things, such as trips to Costco, embodying a genuine appreciation for life's small moments.

His departure leaves a profound void in the lives of his loving family, including his parents, David and Martha Escobar, his siblings D.J., Kimberly, and Norman, as well as his cherished nieces and nephews Emrie, Lincoln, and Violet. Jason is also survived by his sister-in-laws, Kelly and Brittany Escobar. The warmth of his memory will live on through them, as they carry forward the love and lessons he imparted during his time among us.

Jason Levi Escobar will be dearly missed, remembered fondly for his remarkable spirit, dreams, and the love he shared with all who were fortunate enough to know him.
